Right to the Point with Acupuncturist, Carol Hetherington, LicAc, MAOM, DiplOM
from PetAbility Podcast · host PetAbility
Imagine getting a needle stuck in your head and having a feeling of complete and utter relaxation, even euphoria. That's exactly what happens with acupuncture. It's all about stimulating the right point and it is very safe. Thereafter, a cascade of processes are triggered in the body that signals the body to heal itself. Acupuncture "makes suggestions" to the natural healing powers that lie within. Effective at addressing pain, acupuncture also works synergistically with medications to increase their efficacy and minimize side effects. Acupuncture aligns with the integrative model of veterinary care combining Eastern and Western medicine, and is especially powerful in combination with physical rehabilitation. Treating both acute (post-injury or surgery) and chronic issues (osteoarthritis), acupuncture also helps the immune system, allergies, cancer, organ function, sleep, anxiety, PTSD and the list goes on. And a little trivia: acupuncture needles are so small that up to 30 of them can fit inside a needle used for shots!
